Russia’s systems were “very mobile, not very distributed,” Clarke told WIRED. Their relatively small number of large systems, Clarke said, “were not really combat relevant.”
Moscow’s strategy assumed that there would be a relatively static battlefield Infaunaa heavy armored vehicle that targets radio communications. Farther out, about 15 miles from the front line, they were sending Learn-3a six-wheeled truck capable of not only jamming mobile networks, but disrupting communications and even SMS forwarding to nearby mobile phones. Even further away, about 180 miles away, the fire truck was big Krasukha-4 will jam air sensors.
“When you get close to the front, you get electronic weather,” Clark says. “Your GPS won’t work, your cell phone won’t work, your Starlink won’t work.”
This electromagnetic no-man’s-land is what happens when you “flare up,” Clark explains. But there’s a big trade-off, he says. Jamming in the spectrum requires more power, as well as jamming over a wider geographic area : The more power the system has, the bigger it needs to be.So you can disrupt all communications in the target area or some communications farther away, but not necessarily both. email
Move fast and jam stuff
At the beginning of the war, the Russian armed forces were hampered by poor communication, poor planning and a general slowness of adaptation. representative of a defense technology startup.
Thus, Ukraine developed two complementary strategies: to produce large volumes of cheaper EW solutions and to make them repeatable and adaptable.
Ukraine’s Bukovel-AD anti-drone system, for example, fits comfortably in the back of a pickup truck Ether The suitcase-sized system can detect jamming signals from Russian EW systems, allowing Ukraine to target them with artillery.Ukrainian electronic warfare company Quertus now makes 15 different anti-aircraft systems, from drone jamming backpacks to stationary devices that can be mounted on radio towers. to protect incoming drones.
When full-scale war broke out in 2022, Kvertus had one product, a shoulder-mounted anti-drone gun like the EDM4S. in his offices this March. “In 2023 it was hundreds. Now? There are thousands of them.”
